" Doctor Tommy Danger " Ivic) fielded
two cars, with a total of eight drivers,
(well, nine, actually), and half-adozen
crew. Depending on who you

" Shirley " (the red car) and " Temple "
(the yellow car), or " Laverne " and

My first stint, from 6 p.m. to 8
p.m., went smoothly. Beforehand,
have a little to eat and drink, so you
have the energy and hydration to race
for two hours. Use the restroom
before you get in the car, since you
